Today we're talking about the Biden Administration's war on Christian families, this time when it comes to foster care. The Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a rule that would prevent states from using child adoption agencies, most of them faith-based, that do not promote the LGBTQ ideology for children. We discuss why this is actually going to result in more kids in the system as Christians are such a large population of foster parents and adoptive parents. We also give a recap on an Oregon mom who was suing the State of Oregon after they said she couldn't adopt due to her rejection of LGBTQ ideology. Then, why do millennials feel abandoned by their parents, and how do we feel about kicking kids out of the house at 18? We also discuss if college is worth it, and run through some Gen Z lingo. --- Timecodes: (00:49) Intro (03:10) Biden admin's foster care placement requirements (16:20) Christians should not vote Democrat (19:04) Oregon mom loses lawsuit (24:50) Millennials abandoned by their parents?

Today we're joined by child psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman, author of "Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness," to discuss the history of gender theory and the sexual liberation movement. We start off with why it has become so important to speak out against the confusion wreaking havoc on our kids when they're being told ideas that are blatantly anti-science. We talk about gender-specific medicine, which explains why male and female chromosomes make a difference in every cell and function within the body and ultimately matter beyond the reproductive system. We discuss how kids always try to put things into categories and how it's cruel to doom kids to even more confusion rather than offering clarity. Then, what's the tie between the sexual liberation movement and gender ideology, and how are the depraved, pedophilic fathers of gender ideology, John Money and Alfred Kinsey, still making an impact on what we're teaching kids about sex and gender?

Today we're discussing some big pop culture topics in the news, as well as the ongoing depravity of Hamas supporters in America. First, we look at Paris Hilton's announcement of her daughter London, born via surrogacy, and give a reminder of why surrogacy is so morally wrong, especially in cases like this in which the choice was merely out of fear of giving birth. Then, a young Kansas City Chiefs fan is being accused of wearing blackface at a game and perpetuating racist stereotypes. We break down why this is so absurd and why reporters get away with this kind of terrible journalism. We also break down the ever-growing trend among the Left of supporting Hamas and glorifying Islam. We dive into the truth behind Islam and explain why it's so dangerous for clueless liberals to latch onto this ideology. Then, is the "Golden Bachelor" really as wholesome as his producers made him out to be? We cover this, as well as what's going on with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. --- Timecodes: (00:45) Intro (02:43) Paris Hilton (18:09) Chiefs fan (29:35) Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce (36:11) Oakland Hamas supporters / Islam is trendy now (50:53) Golden Bachelor --- Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth — go to CozyEarth.com and use promo code 'RELATABLE' at checkout to save 35% off your order!

Today we're joined by Emily Donlin, an Iowa mother who is under investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services after her newborn baby's umbilical cord tested positive for cocaine even though she has never consumed the drug. What ensued over the following few months was a nightmare for the family, including endless drug tests that all came back negative, the threat of removing the kids from the parents' care, and the installation of a state legal guardian over the baby. Emily shares the story from the beginning to where the family is at now and why, despite some wins in court, there's still a big battle ahead to clear her name. --- Timecodes: (01:08) Being told about the positive test (10:24) First DHS interaction (17:15) Dealing with DHS & supervision (37:00) Government accountability  (51:40) DHS doubles down (56:06) Retesting the umbilical cord (59:00) Dismissal (01:02:08) Child abuse registry & next steps --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 30% off your first order!

Today we're looking at Target's new LGBTQ Christmas decoration line and the employee who was hired as a "Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist and Pride Lead," indicating that the company doesn't intend to back down on its Pride controversies from earlier in the year. We explain why it's so important to turn away from companies like this and use our dollars elsewhere. Then, popular magazine Cosmopolitan highlighted the Satanic Temple's abortion clinic and its "abortion rituals" in a post this week. The satanic abortion clinic aims to provide abortions as a "religious ritual," thereby avoiding certain abortion restrictions. We explain the obvious implications of this. We also share the tragic story of Hans Schmidt, pastor and father, who was shot in the head while preaching on a street corner, and why these kinds of stories don't make the news when they should. --- Timecodes: (02:17) Intro / Thanksgiving recap (11:45) Target Christmas pride line (29:40) Satanic Temple abortion clinic (40:04) Abortion witchcraft (45:45) Hans Schmidt (50:07) Encouragement --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles — use promo code RELATABLE25 for $25 off an order of $125 or more, or RELATABLE50 for $50 off an order of $200 or more at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!

Today we're joined by farmer and writer John Klar, author of “Small Farm Republic: Why Conservatives Must Embrace Local Agriculture, Reject Climate Alarmism, and Lead an Environmental Revival,” to discuss the importance of small, independent farming and the food economy. We start off with why climate activism seems to be a growing religion. We respond to those who claim local farming is bad for the environment and ask why climate activists are trying to get rid of things like cows, which give us food, when things that don't give us food, such as fireworks, generate many more carbon emissions. We explain how corporate actors sacrifice small farms and why people in big cities would also benefit from small farming. John tells his story of getting Lyme disease and how healthy food became essential for healing, and we discuss the cease and desist he was handed from PETA.

Today we're joined by historian Dr. Jeff Fynn-Paul to discuss his book "Not Stolen: The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World" and to answer many questions about “stolen land,” Thanksgiving, and colonialism. First, we ask the question, “Are we on stolen land?” and explain how the answer is much more complicated than we have been led to believe. We look at Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" and how this became the standard history of America, when in reality many scholars saw him as a radical. We discuss the truth about Christopher Columbus, including the wildly inflated numbers of indigenous people he is claimed to have murdered, and the reality that historical figures are more complicated than “evil and good.” We also discuss whether Thanksgiving is oppressive and what we should make of the claim that we owe Native Americans reparations. --- Timecodes: (00:40) Intro (03:40) Smallpox blankets (05:50) 'A People's History of the United States' (08:35) Christopher Columbus (13:32) Thanksgiving (17:35) Are we on stolen land?

Today we're joined again by our friend James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses, to discuss what's going on behind the debate about and violent protests against the Israel-Hamas conflict and what left-wing theories have to do with it. First, we look at what happened with James' recent restriction on X and his battle with feminists over their ideology. We discuss how radical feminism is one of the causes of transgender ideology and why it's important to decipher whether feminism can actually be a cure for it or not. Then, we unpack the language of the Left when it comes to simultaneously labeling Jewish people "white supremacists" and groups like Hamas "liberation fighters." We ask whether Leftist activists understand that Islam and Hamas are not interested in their left-wing coalition. We also look at a new trend on TikTok that's showing young people reading Osama bin Laden's "Letter to America" and siding with him.

Here at CPYU we are always telling parents that there are three essential elements to a healthy, biblically-based response to an alarming youth culture trend. First, when we realize that something is trending, we are to exercise a prophetic influence by speaking Scripture related to the trend into our teen's life. Second, we are to exert a preventive influence by establishing borders and boundaries designed to protect our kids from harming themselves while providing for their well-being. And finally, when our kids fall prey to the trends and enter into making poor decisions that lead to bad habits and sinful behavior, we must do all that we can to help them experience recovery from the consequences of their choices while moving them to a place of repentance and restoration as they own their mistakes and experience grace. This is the redemptive influence we are called to have. Parents, fulfill your responsibility to parent well with a balance of the prophetic, preventive, and the redemptive.

Today we're talking about Dr. Rosaria Butterfield's excellent talk at Liberty University last week, where she called out multiple Christian ministries for their weak stances on LGBTQ topics. We talk about Dr. Butterfield's five lies of our culture and why she nails the true, biblical definition of gender as well as how we should view same-sex attraction and same-sex-attracted Christians. In her talk, Dr. Butterfield called out the Revoice conference, Preston Sprinkle's Exiles in Babylon conference, and Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ). We go through each of these ministries and some of what they teach about same-sex attraction and pronoun hospitality and explain why it's so important for ministries to be clear and explicit on these topics. Then, we take a look a video making the rounds on X of a woman trying to get out of a ticket because she's ... indigenous and nonbinary? --- Timecodes: (00:50) Rug mix-up (10:58) Dr. Rosaria Butterfield calls out ministries (41:59) Girl tries to get out of arrest --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

Today we talk about the horrendous story coming out of the U.K. of 8-month-old Indi Gregory, who was forced off of life support by the British government despite her parents' pleas for treatment. This, unfortunately, is not a unique occurrence, as it has now happened to multiple babies and children in the U.K. The Italian government even stepped in for baby Indi, offering full citizenship and full coverage of medical expenses, only for the U.K. government to reject the offer and force her to die instead. Then, life seems to be a losing issue in Ohio and Kentucky as we review the results of the recent elections that saw big wins for abortion. We go over what this means for these states and look at the responses from those pleading for conservatives to compromise on the pro-life issue in order to actually win elections. We explain why compromising just isn't an option, especially when the other side wouldn't dream of compromising. Then, RFK Jr. was spotted recently on a flight ... barefoot? We read our official statement on this horrific incident and theorize about what it might mean for his campaign. --- Timecodes: (00:55) Encouragement / influencer culture (08:45) Baby Indi's death (25:35) Abortion elections in Ohio & Kentucky (42:38) Arguing for abortion compromise (52:26) RFK Jr's barefoot on a plane --- Today's Sponsors: My Patriot Supply — prepare yourself for anything with long-term emergency food storage.

Today we're joined by our friend Kirk Cameron to talk about his new book, "The Fox, the Fair, and the Invention Scare," as well as the rise of inappropriate books for children in schools and why it matters to fight back. First, we recap our last conversation with Kirk, in which he declared public schools enemy number one. Is this still the case, and what should Christians who work in public schools do to combat the ever-growing hostility toward their worldview? We look at where inappropriate children's books are coming from and explain how Scholastic Books is a wolf in sheep's clothing attempting to force gender ideology books among the books we know and love. Kirk shares about his alternative to Scholastic Book Fairs, SkyTree Books Fairs, and we discuss why he feels to passionately about this subject and why it's so important for us as Christians to stand against the indoctrination of kids. We end with some encouragement on creating good soil for our children and the optimism we can have. --- Timecodes: (01:12) Public education (07:30) Scholastic Books (13:06) Sky Tree book fairs (14:30) How did Scholastic get to this point?

Today we're joined by Newsweek senior editor at large Josh Hammer to discuss Israel, Gaza, and the international response to the war. We start off with an explanation of why the October 7 attacks in Israel are such a big deal and why this conflict is different from other Middle East conflicts. We explain what pro-Palestinian protesters mean when they say popular mottos such as "resistance by all means" and "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." We also look at the rise in anti-Semitism across the world and in our back yard and look into the narrative that Israel is an evil actor in this conflict. But did the land belong to the Palestinians originally, and what does true liberation for Palestinians actually mean? We cover all this and more. --- Timecodes: (01:20) Why is Oct 7 such a big deal?

From the BBC World Service: A group of young former McDonald’s workers in the United Kingdom is taking the fast food chain to court, accusing it of failing to protect them at work. Earlier this year, a BBC investigation revealed allegations of sexual assault, harassment, racism and bullying. Plus, Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest exporter of clothes, but workers are protesting over better pay and conditions. Then, as the French government hosts a conference in Paris today to discuss ways of getting humanitarian aid to people in Gaza, we hear from a bakery in the territory that is struggling to keep up with the massive demand for crucial supplies of bread.

Today is the long-awaited response to Andy Stanley's LGBTQ sermon at the Unconditional Conference. We go in-depth with what exactly Stanley said in his sermon about Christianity in relation to LGBTQ issues and "identities" and his statement that Rosaria Butterfield and Dr. Christopher Yuan, who have an abundance of wisdom on this topic, have nothing to say to parents struggling with their kids' LGBTQ "identities." But what does Stanley get wrong by claiming that homosexuality is an identity, and why does it matter?

Today we're joined by tattoo artist and entrepreneur Kat Von D to discuss her incredible testimony of coming to faith in Christ and her ongoing faith journey. Kat explains her upbringing and how she initially rebelled against going to church because it was only something she was told to do. We take a look at her rise to fame through the shows "Miami Ink" and "LA Ink" and her interest in spiritual practices that were just methods of putting Band-Aids on a sinking ship. She recalls her journey to sobriety and how her husband helped her readjust her thinking on not just her faith but also some political topics. We discuss her viral baptism video, some of the backlash she's gotten from both non-Christians and Christians, and how she can actually use certain aspects of her life and style to reach those who may feel ostracized by Christianity or “Christian culture.” Then, what would Kat tell those who have questions about Christianity as she did? --- Timecodes: (05:05) How Kat & Allie became friends (08:43) Kat's upbringing (15:39) Being sent to a behavioral institution (18:00) Tattooing and artistry (22:40) 'LA Ink' & sobriety (27:00) Throwing away occult books (32:47) How Kat came to Christ (37:20) Empty spiritual practices & online comments (43:15) Finding a church (46:30) Baptism video & criticism (53:30) Discerning content and style (01:07:55) Alice Cooper (01:10:50) Sanctification & inward change (01:15:16) Message to those seeking --- Today's Sponsors: Naturally It's Clean — visit https://naturallyitsclean.com/allie and use promo code "ALLIE" to receive 15% off your order.

Today we're joined by professor and apologist Dr. Sean McDowell for part two on our discussion about reaching the younger generation with the gospel. We continue with a discussion about the age of the Earth and whether it actually matters to our understanding of the gospel. How do we reconcile scientific beliefs and faith, and how do we respond to those who claim Jesus didn't actually exist at all? We look at why Jesus stuck as the most significant cultural figure ever and explain how liberating his message was and is for women.

Emily is delighted to welcome back Gabor Maté, MD, the esteemed physician and author best known for his breakthrough analysis of addiction as a psychophysiological response to childhood trauma and emotional loss.  Gabor co-wrote his latest work, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture, alongside his son Daniel Maté. It became an instant New York Times bestseller, and the duo is already working on their next project, Hello Again: A Fresh Start for Parents and Their Adult Children. Emily and Gabor explore the pain behind addiction and the promise of wholeness. Gabor touches on addiction as an attempt to solve a problem of pain, cites the demands and technical diversions of our modern lives as catalysts of the current mental health crisis, and invites readers to embark on a journey of reconnection through compassionate self-examination. About Gabor Maté A renowned speaker and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics, including addiction, stress, and childhood development. Rather than offering quick-fix solutions to these complex issues, Dr. Maté weaves together scientific research, case histories, and his own insights and experience to present a broad perspective that enlightens and empowers people to promote their own healing and that of those around them. After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver's Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness.  His book on addiction - In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction - received the Hubert Evans Prize for literary non-fiction. For his groundbreaking medical work and writing, he has been awarded the Order of Canada, his country's highest civilian distinction, and the Civic Merit Award from his hometown, Vancouver.

Today we're joined by professor and apologist Dr. Sean McDowell to discuss his work as a professor and how to share the truth of the gospel with the younger generations. First we discuss some of the challenges of living and teaching in a place like Southern California that is seen as a hub of secularism and progressivism. Dr. McDowell explains how in our culture, the voices from outside Christianity are encroaching more and more, and when young people aren't ready to defend their faith, it's even worse. We talk about how to approach LGBTQ issues with younger generations and why starting by asking questions is so important. We explain why, despite the importance of feelings, they don't trump truth and morality. Then, what is actual freedom, and does it mean we need more boundaries or fewer? --- Timecodes: (01:10) Intro (01:49) Challenges of living & teaching in California (04:40) Young peoples' preparedness as Christians (06:22) Biggest questions from young people (08:30) LGBTQ issues & feelings from theological perspective (14:12) Asking questions and listening before you speak (20:20) Why feelings don't trump truth (22:15) Freedom (32:30) Defining justice --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

However, there is a growing concern about the toxic culture that exists within many dealerships. Salespeople often face degrading treatment from management, and the turnover rate is notoriously high. In this thought leadership article, we will delve into the main themes discussed in a recent podcast episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman, where industry experts L.A. Williams and Sean V. Bradley answered questions from the audience. We will explore the reasons behind the toxic culture in the automotive industry, the impact it has on salespeople, and potential solutions to create a more positive and productive work environment.   The Toxic Culture in the Automotive Industry One of the main concerns raised in the podcast episode was the prevalence of a toxic culture in the automotive industry. The anonymous question posed by a salesperson with ten years of experience highlighted the issue, asking why the industry is so toxic and why it is accepted that a salesperson has a two-year shelf life. The question also touched on the degrading way in which management often speaks to salespeople and the overall acceptance of the toxic culture within dealerships. L.A. Williams and Sean V. Bradley acknowledged the existence of a toxic culture in many dealerships and emphasized that it is not unique to the automotive industry. They pointed out that toxicity can be found in various industries, such as law, politics, and healthcare. However, they also acknowledged that the automotive industry has a reputation for its toxic culture, which can be attributed to several factors.   One factor is the high turnover rate in the industry. Salespeople often jump from dealership to dealership, looking for better opportunities or escaping a toxic work environment. This constant turnover can contribute to a negative culture, as there is a lack of continuity and stability within the sales team. Additionally, the high-pressure nature of the job, combined with the potential for significant financial gain, can create an environment where egos clash and toxic behavior is tolerated. Another factor is the lack of proper training and support for salespeople. Many dealerships do not invest in comprehensive training programs or provide ongoing professional development for their sales teams. This lack of training can lead to a lack of professionalism and a toxic work environment. Salespeople may not have the necessary skills to handle difficult situations or effectively communicate with customers, which can result in frustration and tension within the dealership. Furthermore, the competitive nature of the industry can contribute to a toxic culture. Salespeople are often pitted against each other, competing for customers and commissions. This competition can create a cutthroat environment where backstabbing and undermining behavior are common. The pressure to meet sales targets and earn commissions can also lead to unethical practices, such as misleading customers or pressuring them into making a purchase.   The Impact on Salespeople The toxic culture in the automotive industry can have a significant impact on salespeople. It can lead to high levels of stress, burnout, and job dissatisfaction. Salespeople may feel undervalued and unappreciated, which can affect their motivation and performance. The constant pressure to meet targets and deal with difficult customers can take a toll on their mental and emotional well-being. The degrading way in which management often speaks to salespeople can further contribute to a toxic work environment. Verbal abuse and disrespectful behavior can erode morale and create a hostile atmosphere. Salespeople may feel demoralized and disengaged, which can negatively impact their interactions with customers and ultimately affect sales. The two-year shelf life mentioned in the question is a common perception in the industry. Many salespeople do not stay in the same dealership for more than a couple of years, either because they burn out or because they are lured away by promises of better opportunities elsewhere. This constant turnover can disrupt team dynamics and hinder the development of a positive and supportive work culture.   Potential Solutions While the toxic culture in the automotive industry may seem pervasive, there are potential solutions to create a more positive and productive work environment. Here are some strategies that dealerships can implement:   Invest in comprehensive training programs: Provide salespeople with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their roles. Offer ongoing training and professional development opportunities to support their growth and success. Promote a supportive and inclusive work culture: Foster a sense of teamwork and collaboration among salespeople. Encourage open communication and provide a safe space for employees to voice their concerns and ideas. Recognize and reward performance: Implement a fair and transparent incentive program that rewards salespeople for their achievements. This can include financial incentives, as well as non-monetary rewards such as recognition and career advancement opportunities. Provide regular feedback and coaching: Offer constructive feedback and coaching to help salespeople improve their skills and overcome challenges. Create a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Address toxic behavior: Hold managers and employees accountable for their actions. Implement policies and procedures that promote respect and professionalism. Provide resources and support for employees who experience or witness toxic behavior. Encourage work-life balance: Recognize the importance of work-life balance and support employees in achieving it. Offer flexible scheduling options and promote a healthy work environment. Create a referral program: Develop a structured referral program that incentivizes employees and customers to refer new business. Offer attractive rewards for successful referrals, such as cash bonuses, gift cards, or other incentives.   Conclusion and Future Outlook The toxic culture in the automotive industry is a complex issue that requires attention and action. While it may be prevalent in many dealerships, it is not an inherent characteristic of the industry as a whole. By implementing strategies to promote a positive work culture, provide comprehensive training and support, and recognize and reward performance, dealerships can create an environment that fosters success and satisfaction for salespeople. It is also important for salespeople to advocate for themselves and address any toxic behavior or work environment they encounter. By speaking up and seeking support, they can contribute to positive change and create a more fulfilling and rewarding career in the automotive industry. Looking ahead, it is crucial for the industry to continue evolving and adapting to meet the changing needs and expectations of salespeople. By prioritizing employee well-being, professional development, and a supportive work culture, dealerships can attract and retain top talent, ultimately leading to increased success and profitability. In conclusion, while the toxic culture in the automotive industry may exist in some dealerships, it is not representative of the industry as a whole. By addressing the underlying issues and implementing positive changes, dealerships have the opportunity to create a more positive and productive work environment.     Resources Dealer Synergy & Bradley On Demand: The automotive industry's #1 training, tracking, testing, and certification platform and consulting & accountability firm.

Today, we're joined again by detransitioner Laura Perry Smalts, author of "Transgender to Transformed: A Story of Transition That Will Truly Set You Free," to continue her testimony of how she went from believing she was a man to embracing her womanhood under Christ. Laura shares the timeline of her hormone "treatments," double mastectomy and hysterectomy, and the moment she realized that these surgeries and treatments wouldn't actually make her a man. We discuss the common claim made by "trans" people that they are truly happier after transitioning and the truth that it's often a lie to keep up appearances and convince themselves of the lie. Laura shares her heartbreak at realizing she had lost the opportunity to have children and how God ultimately reached her at her lowest. We talk about the dignity in biblical womanhood, God's love for women, and how these truths led Laura to accept who God made her to be. We also share some advice on how to approach loved ones who think they're trans.

Today, we're joined by detransitioner Laura Perry Smalts, author of "Transgender to Transformed: A Story of Transition That Will Truly Set You Free," to share her testimony of how she went from believing she was a man to embracing her womanhood under Christ. We start off with Laura's childhood, during which she became convinced that her mother wanted her to be a boy. This, combined with early sexual abuse and not fitting in with other girls, eventually led her to believe she needed to become a man. Laura shares how desperate she was for male attention and the extreme behavior that led her family to begin worrying, as well as the transgender support group that first convinced her to seek "trans care." We discuss how testosterone initially made her feel amazing, but she quickly realized that the more she transitioned, the more imprisoned she was and that she would never truly become a man despite going through the motions.

Today we're joined by influencer and blogger Allie Lundeen, also known as Proverbs 31 Girl, to share about her drive to make things beautiful and some hard stories of loss. First, we talk about how everything can be made beautiful, and how it doesn't necessarily take someone crafty to make a home that feels comfortable and warm. We talk about what a "Proverbs 31 woman" actually is, and why it's important to be resourceful. Then, Allie shared her father's story of getting sick with Covid, being denied certain potential life-saving medications in-hospital, and being given a deadly medication instead that she believes ultimately led to his death. We discuss the darkness she felt in the hospital, seeing that Covid "precautions" were not about safety and empathy after all. We also talk about the death of her month-old baby girl and how to use hard stories to encourage others and remind ourselves that the testing of our faith is for our good. --- Timecodes: (01:00) Proverbs 31 Girl (04:10) Becoming a DIY person and making things beautiful (10:40) Balancing desire and contentment (13:38) Insecurity of being a Christian influencer / Instagram censoring (17:40) How does this generate income?

Today we're joined by Stella Morabito, author of "The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer," to discuss how the Left uses social isolation as a political weapon and how we can fight back. First, we talk about how we are hardwired to connect with others and therefore why social isolation is such a powerful tool to be used against us. We look at Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's comments on the loneliness epidemic and explain that his plans for combatting loneliness actually lead us down the path of more government control and ultimately more loneliness. We explain why people get strength from the private sphere and why the government can't control us from the private sphere. Then we take a look at the drive to socially engineer our societies and relationships and how this was exploited during COVID by elites who never had to endure the consequences. We also look at the theological implications and explain biblically why denying our innate nature leads to depression and chaos. You can get Stella's book "The Weaponization of Loneliness" here: https://www.amazon.com/Weaponization-Loneliness-Tyrants-Isolation-Silence/dp/1637582021/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=PJJnJ&content-id=amzn1.sym.579192ca-1482-4409-abe7-9e14f17ac827&pf_rd_p=579192ca-1482-4409-abe7-9e14f17ac827&pf_rd_r=130-6694960-6729528&pd_rd_wg=HFypi&pd_rd_r=186aaa13-2d67-4482-8c37-447655a70ebb&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk --- Timecodes: (03:30) Loneliness epidemic (10:50) Surgeon General's plan to combat loneliness (19:15) Democrat policies & getting rid of suburbs (23:40) Importance of private sphere & first amendment (32:30) Propoganda (35:45) How loneliness was exploited during Covid (44:30) Theological implication --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

Today, we're joined by Ryan and Bethany Bomberger, co-founders of the Radiance Foundation, to discuss their incredible stories and how they fight for the value and purpose of every life through their organization. Ryan shares his story of being conceived through rape yet given the chance to live. We discuss having sympathy for women who are walking through difficult pregnancy situations and understanding why some women might think abortion is a way out, though ultimately there needs to be a focus on the big picture rather than fear. Then, Ryan shares about getting sued by the NAACP for calling the organization out on its support for abortion. We talk about why Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry, the most systemically racist industry, seems to get a pass from the Left. We also talk about how gender ideology is a money-making industry and why it's so important to shape our kids' worldviews when they are young.

Today, we're joined again by Benji Nolot, the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking. We continue our conversation with a look at how the Bible views healthy sexual relationships through the lens of mutual submission. We look at prominent conservative figure Dennis Prager's comment on porn and what it misses and explain why there is no such thing as ethical porn. Then, we discuss why you can't disconnect child trafficking from porn, as much as the pro-porn crowd wants to, and look at the impact on socialization of children when it comes to early porn consumption.

You Are Un-Finished: Use Feelings of Depression and Anxiety to Fuel a Soaring Life by Ardeshir Mehran Most Influential Person I draw inspiration from a biologist colleague. She inspires my mindfulness journey with her graceful, mindful presence, and the way she observes her surroundings with poise. Effect on Emotions I'd like to share how mindfulness is currently transforming my emotional responses. Mindfulness allows me to navigate my emotions by simply observing them without passing judgment. In addition, this approach empowers me to address my emotions with a heightened level of awareness and balance. Instead of reacting impulsively, I can now make deliberate and conscious choices in how I respond to different emotional states. Moreover, this transformation has significantly improved my relationship with my feelings, fostering a healthier and more mindful connection. Thoughts on Breathing The essence of breathing lies in awareness. People often ask how to breathe properly, and my response is that you're already doing it; you're just not conscious of it. Specifically, notice your breath as you sit. There's no need to force it or attempt to take in more oxygen. Your body instinctively regulates the breath based on your activity level. It is essential to sit with an upright posture, allowing your diaphragm to expand, giving your lungs room to move. Simply observe your breath's natural cycle: when it begins, continues, and ends, and the same for the exhale. This mindful awareness of the breath's rhythmic cycle is a profound practice.

Levine Ph.D. Book: The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Mate App: Rain Rain App Bullying Story During my childhood, particularly throughout my primary school years, I found myself a frequent target for bullies. It seemed to stem from my affinity for books, my reserved nature, and my slender physique. The bullying often led to torn clothes and financial strain for my parents. I distinctly remember a conversation with my mother where she imparted a valuable lesson. She encouraged me not to run from fear but to confront it head-on. Though I didn't fully comprehend her advice at the time, I decided to apply it during my next encounter with the bullies. I stood my ground, even as they pushed me around, resulting in another beating. But something remarkable happened after that. The bullies ceased their torment and started spending time with me, discovering my extensive knowledge of scientific stories. This experience taught me not to let fear control me and to acknowledge the goodness within myself. I also gained insight into the difficult backgrounds of those bullies, leading me to approach them with compassion and respect. This lesson underscored the importance of facing fear and discovering inner strength.

Today, we're joined by Benji Nolot, the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking. We start off with a discussion on the fact that pornography is upstream from trafficking and that if people want to justify consuming porn, they also have to sign off on the atrocities that happen to make porn. We talk about why porn isn't just something between two consenting adults, but rather that it always results in objectification and dehumanization. We talk about how porn producers view men and women and how many Christian books on sex have even gotten the subject of a woman's responsibility in relationships wrong. Stay tuned for part two!

Today we're talking with Scott Newgent, founder of TReVoices and outspoken advocate against child transgender "treatments." Most famously, Scott was an interviewee in Matt Walsh's documentary "What Is a Woman?" where she surprised audiences by being a "trans man" standing up against the trans agenda. Scott shares her story of deciding to transition, from being affirmed that she was a man later in life to getting multiple surgeries that have now left her in a complicated health situation. We talk about the activist business model and why she believes the trans agenda is far different from pre-2015, when people were advocating for the legalization of gay marriage. We cover whether she regrets transitioning and why she doesn't care what pronouns people use for her. We'll also ask the question: Will people ever wake up from this and start protecting kids? --- Timecodes: (01:25) Life since 'What is a Woman' (03:22) 'Transition' story (13:10) Commonalities among 'trans' people / trauma (17:55) Detransitioners (19:19) Health problems from surgeries (25:30) Activist business model (30:52) Fitting in and why kids have no chance (32:16) Surgeries (38:10) Complications (40:30) "I will always be a trans man" (44:08) Do you regret transitioning?

Today, we're joined by Liz Wheeler, host of "The Liz Wheeler Show" and author of "Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids," to delve into the Left's ongoing effort to take over our institutions and how we might be able to stop it. First, we ask why the Left is so focused on coming after children and explain how communism, at its core, alienates children from parents and destroys parental rights. We discuss the concept of indoctrination and explain why it's actually a neutral term and that we should indoctrinate for good. Then, what does freedom even mean, and is it the ultimate end or the means to something greater? Why is the Left better able to establish coalitions than the Right? We discuss these questions and more! --- Timecodes: (01:18) Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids (03:35) Why come after the children?

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," for part two of our discussion on Scientology and its many controversies. On this episode we're diving into the even darker side of Scientology, featuring government conspiracies and intimidation tactics. We discuss what may have happened to Shelly Miscavige, wife of the leader of Scientology, who mysteriously disappeared and hasn't been seen since 2007. We also look at some of the intimidation and control tactics that Scientology uses to divide families and break up relationships. We talk about the tragic stories of forced abortions and rape cover-ups that have surfaced regarding Scientology and explain why the famous "billion-year contract" is so detrimental to families and children stuck in Scientology. We also speculate why exactly Scientology is so appealing to the already rich and famous. Check out the Cultish website and Instagram!

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss Scientology. Because Scientology is in the news so often, we start off with an explanation of what it actually is and how it gets people hooked. We discuss how similar its structure sounds to multi-level marketing and the prosperity gospel and what was going on in America that caused this to boom in the '50s, '60s and '70s. We talk about the wild "intergalactic" lore of Scientology and how, similar to other cults, what actually goes on behind the scenes is never communicated to a potential convert. At Scientology's core, the problems it is trying to solve are the same ones we all try to solve, but the solutions are all man-made and the opposite of freedom. We offer a theological perspective and explain why Scientology and Christianity are so opposed to each other. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow!
